3 Performing measurements
3.1Measurement instructions
The AGE Scanner gives a correct measurement result provided that the following
conditions are met:
The AGE measurement is performed directly on healthy skin. The skin at
the measuring area should be homogeneous and free of birthmarks,
tattoos or excessive hair growth and without recent exposure to skin
creams or any substance that may have fluorescent properties. Self-
tanning agents should not be used for at least 10 days before a
measurement. Sun-blockers and other skin care products should not be
used for 3 days before a measurement.
The measurement head of the AGE Scanner is positioned on the inner
forearm at about 8cm (3 inches) from the elbow. See the illustrations on
the next page.
The silicon ring of the measurement head of the AGE Scanner is pressed
gently to the skin evenly on all sides such that ambient light cannot enter
the measurement window.
Both the AGE Scanner and the person’s arm are kept still during the
measurement.
The measurement window is kept clean (see chapter 5.1).
3.2Performing a measurement
To perform a measurement on a person please do the following:
1. Make sure you have completed all preparation steps in chapter 1.
2. For the best possible accuracy of the measurement result make sure that
the triple mode is selected in the Settings menu in the app.
Alternatively, select single mode for the fastest result at a lower accuracy.
3. Place the AGE Scanner on the person’s dominant forearm (see the
illustrations on the next page) with gentle pressure and avoid ambient light
entering the device. Please make sure to use the prescribed measurement
location (see section 3.1).
4. Start the measurement by pressing and releasing the button.
